I'm trying to drag and drop a Qlabel on another Qlabel with PyQt5:

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QToolTip, QPushButton, QMessageBox, QHBoxLayout, QVBoxLayout, QGridLayout,QFrame, QComboBox, QLabel, QLineEdit
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon, QFont, QPixmap, QImage
import sysclass my_label(QLabel):def __init__(self,title,parent):super().__init__(title,parent)self.setAcceptDrops(True)def dragEnterEvent(self,event):if event.mimeData().hasFormat("text/plain"):event.accept()else:event.ignore()def dropEvent(self,event):self.setText(event.mimeData().text())class application(QWidget):def __init__(self):super().__init__()self.initUI()def initUI(self):label = my_label("drop there",self)label.resize(100,100)label.move(190,65)label_to_drag = QLabel("drag this",self)#label_to_drag.setDragEnabled(True)    #doesn't work with QLabel        self.show()def closeEvent(self,event):message = QMessageBox.question(self,"Message","Quit ?",QMessageBox.Yes | QMessageBox.No,QMessageBox.No)if message == QMessageBox.Yes:event.accept()else:event.ignore()app = QApplication(sys.argv)
fenetre = application()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

I wanted to make my first label "draggable",by calling the setDragEnabled(True) method (as i was doing for QLineEdit),and drop it on the second label to change his text. Dropping text from another app is working fine,but I can't find how to drag the QLabel inside my own app... What did I miss ?

EDIT : modified the code to try to Drag&Drop Images :

class DraggableLabel(QLabel):
def __init__(self,parent,image):super(QLabel,self).__init__(parent)self.setPixmap(QPixmap(image))    self.show()
def mousePressEvent(self, event):if event.button() == Qt.LeftButton:self.drag_start_position = event.pos()def mouseMoveEvent(self, event):if not (event.buttons() & Qt.LeftButton):returnif (event.pos() - self.drag_start_position).manhattanLength() < QApplication.startDragDistance():returndrag = QDrag(self)mimedata = QMimeData()mimedata.setText(self.text())drag.setMimeData(mimedata)pixmap = QPixmap(self.size())painter = QPainter(pixmap)painter.drawPixmap(self.rect(), self.grab())painter.end()drag.setPixmap(pixmap)drag.setHotSpot(event.pos())drag.exec_(Qt.CopyAction | Qt.MoveAction)class my_label(QLabel):def __init__(self,title,parent):super().__init__(title,parent)self.setAcceptDrops(True)def dragEnterEvent(self,event):if event.mimeData().hasFormat("text/plain"):print("event accepted")event.accept()else:print("event rejected")event.ignore()def dropEvent(self,event):if event.mimeData().hasImage():self.setPixmap(QPixmap.fromImage(QImage(event.mimeData().imageData())))class application(QWidget):def __init__(self):super().__init__()self.initUI()def initUI(self):label_to_drag = DraggableLabel(self,"index.jpg")label = my_label("drop there",self)label.resize(100,100)label.move(190,65)self.show()

When I drop the DraggableLabel (displaying the image) on my_label,the event is accepted, but hasImage() always returns false...Is the way I set the image up wrong ?

In the case of QLabel you must create everything from the beginning, for this you can follow the examples of the docs.

In the following example I have placed an example where one class only accepts the drop and the other the drag so that you can see each part and understand better.

import sysfrom PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel, QWidget
from PyQt5.QtGui import QDrag, QPixmap, QPainter, QCursor
from PyQt5.QtCore import QMimeData, Qtclass DraggableLabel(QLabel):def mousePressEvent(self, event):if event.button() == Qt.LeftButton:self.drag_start_position = event.pos()def mouseMoveEvent(self, event):if not (event.buttons() & Qt.LeftButton):returnif (event.pos() - self.drag_start_position).manhattanLength() < QApplication.startDragDistance():returndrag = QDrag(self)mimedata = QMimeData()mimedata.setText(self.text())drag.setMimeData(mimedata)pixmap = QPixmap(self.size())painter = QPainter(pixmap)painter.drawPixmap(self.rect(), self.grab())painter.end()drag.setPixmap(pixmap)drag.setHotSpot(event.pos())drag.exec_(Qt.CopyAction | Qt.MoveAction)class DropLabel(QLabel):def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):QLabel.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)self.setAcceptDrops(True)def dragEnterEvent(self, event):if event.mimeData().hasText():event.acceptProposedAction()def dropEvent(self, event):pos = event.pos()text = event.mimeData().text()self.setText(text)event.acceptProposedAction()class Widget(QWidget):def __init__(self):super().__init__()self.initUI()def initUI(self):label = DropLabel("drop there",self)label.setGeometry(190, 65, 100,100)label_to_drag = DraggableLabel("drag this",self)  self.show()if __name__ == '__main__':app = QApplication(sys.argv)w = Widget()w.show()sys.exit(app.exec_())

Update:

Do not confuse the QDrag with the QMimeData, if you want to use imageData() you must set it with setImageData() as indicated by the docs:

class DraggableLabel(QLabel):def __init__(self,parent,image):super(QLabel,self).__init__(parent)self.setPixmap(QPixmap(image))    self.show()def mousePressEvent(self, event):if event.button() == Qt.LeftButton:self.drag_start_position = event.pos()def mouseMoveEvent(self, event):if not (event.buttons() & Qt.LeftButton):returnif (event.pos() - self.drag_start_position).manhattanLength() < QApplication.startDragDistance():returndrag = QDrag(self)mimedata = QMimeData()mimedata.setText(self.text())mimedata.setImageData(self.pixmap().toImage())drag.setMimeData(mimedata)pixmap = QPixmap(self.size())painter = QPainter(pixmap)painter.drawPixmap(self.rect(), self.grab())painter.end()drag.setPixmap(pixmap)drag.setHotSpot(event.pos())drag.exec_(Qt.CopyAction | Qt.MoveAction)class my_label(QLabel):def __init__(self,title,parent):super().__init__(title,parent)self.setAcceptDrops(True)def dragEnterEvent(self,event):if event.mimeData().hasImage():print("event accepted")event.accept()else:print("event rejected")event.ignore()def dropEvent(self,event):if event.mimeData().hasImage():self.setPixmap(QPixmap.fromImage(QImage(event.mimeData().imageData())))
